John,

That is nice to hear. Americans like Canadians and want to have a good relation.

As far as looking at a Swedish Fighter jet versus an F35, tell them to think long and hard on that one.

As far a your negotiating team,
Most Canadians live a short distance to the border.
Canada apparently ships 77% of its exports across that short distance to the US markets.
That is one sweet set-up to have.

And you Canadians also get to lecture the US on who we should elect for president. Such a deal that you have.

Replacing that set-up with Germany, France, Malaysia and whoever, the associated shipping costs across oceans, etc., is going to be bad arithmetic.

FWIW I suggest that your negotiators come to the table with a practical attitude and a desire for fairness.
